Set a decade after the Simian Flu (a virus inadvertently created by humans to treat Alzheimer’s) decimates the human population, Dawn opens with the remnants of humanity surviving in the ruins of San Francisco. The apes, led by Caesar (Andy Serkis), have formed a thriving, ape-centric society in Muir Woods. However, tensions erupt when a human family—headed by Mac (Jason Clarke), a former engineer—seeks to reactivate a dam to restore power to a nearby hydro-electric plant.
